Absence

If I had wings
to fly this distance
if I was a gazelle
to run without tiredness
 
So now in your embrace,
I would dawn
and never the absence
would be our motto
 
But only in my thoughts
I travel without fear
I have my freedom
but only in my dreams
 
In my dreams I'm strong
I've got your protection
I've got your fondness
and your smile
 
I suffer loneliness
like the sun alone in the sky
it only shines but it blinds
with its glare
not knowing where to brighten
where to go
oh loneliness, it's a fate...
